		Smith knew the sea and his clear eye and steady hand had often guided his ship through dangerous paths.
		Widener, of Philadelphia, might have had some influence upon the action of the captain, but I have the word of the hostess, whose husband was lost in this catastrophe, that at that dinner Capt. Smith touched no liquor of any kind; indeed, that he asked that all glasses be removed from his plate.
		I feel that the small number of steerage survivors was thus due to the fact that they got no definite warning before the ship was really doomed, when most of the lifeboats had departed.

		For decades, Smith had been portrayed as little more than a pompous fool whose ignorance of ships and shipping had turned the American investigation into a laughing stock.
		In his zeal to right the perceived injustice, the author occasionally swings too far to the other extreme, practically canonizing the senator at times.
		The excesses are not themselves that excessive though, and the author achieves his goal of setting the record straight, showing that Smith, with all his faults and virtues was the right man in the right place at the right time.
